Santa Cruz Skateboards Kendall Friend of the World Reissue deck with re-envisioned graphics by Jeremy Fish based on the original artwork by Jim Phillips with spot matte graphic and 50th Anniversary decktop laser etched logo. Old School concave is a blast from the past!
Cruz Missile II concave is Santa Cruz’s infamous tech concave from the 1980s with aggressive, multi-dimensional side to side concave and tail kick along with forward set rocker that comfortably lock in your feet in key areas for a completely unique riding experience – cruising the streets or skating transition on old school or shaped decks with longer tail than nose.
This Santa Cruz reissue consists of a 7-ply North American Maple construction pressed individually using epoxy making a strong, responsive deck with long lasting pop and consistent concave and kick.Â
They are built for riding until the end of time. Tough sturdy construction with shapes that are both user friendly and capture the old school feeling of riding when all that mattered was your buddies and a bowl.
All the decks are drilled with the new school pattern so you can also use your favorite trucks on them!

Today we are stoked to link with Jeff Kendall to talk about his ‘End of The World’ Graphic! This reissue board is coming soon, so we wanted to dig in and hear how this graphic came to be. Jeff’s skating helped propel this graphic to new heights, but none higher than his frontside airs!
Santa Cruz Skateboards, nestled in the skateboarder's paradise of Santa Cruz, California, burst onto the scene in 1973. Picture this: Richard Novak, Doug Haut, and Jay Shuirman, probably sporting some epic '70s hairdos, get together and say, "Hey, let's start NHS Inc. and shake up the skate world."Â
With over four decades of skateboarding smarts (that's like, 280 in dog years of skate knowledge), Santa Cruz isn't just a brand; it's a skateboarding legend. Thanks to the mind-blowing graphics from the artist extraordinaire Jim Phillips, their decks are more iconic than a rock star's guitar.
And let's talk about NHS's brand family – it's like the Avengers of skateboarding gear. They distribute the who's who of skate brands: Santa Cruz Skateboards (obviously), Creature Skates for the monster in you, Independent Truck Co. (the backbone of your board), Bronson Speed Co. (because who doesn't like speed?)!
